RESOLUTION NO. 94-90 Nielsen received a letter from Mr. Jerry Hayes requesting traffic control signs on Radisson Road. The request comes as a result of increased traffic in the area. The City Planner and City Engineer visited the site. They recommend the following: 1. The proposed stop sign at Covington and Radisson is not a good idea. They recommend a sharp curve sign and a 20 MPH speed limit sign and that yield signs be placed at eastbound and westbound ramps from the Covington Road ingress/egress at HwY. 7. 2. It is recommended that stop signs be placed on the service road to HwY. 7 at Covington Road and on the wayside rest exit at Covington Road. 3. A stop sign on Radisson at Shore Road is not warranted. Clearing the brush at this site would improve visibility. 4. The stop sign on Shore Road is considered warranted; along with clearing brush on the East side of Shore Road.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, SEPT.l0. 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 5 Steven Pahl of 24860 Smithtown Road - Mr. Pahl felt that the clean up of his yard was handled badly. The materials taken off his property were not on the list of materials to be removed. The City took firewood and building materials. He said he received no notification from the City. He checked with other cities in the area and they issue a citation before they come on a citizen's property. Nielsen said Pahl received the registered letter. He appealed the removal and was given a 30 day extension. Nielsen said they typically wait one week after the deadline for the extension before they start to remove the material. Pahl did not come back to appeal. Attorney Froberg stated that the Ordinance does provide for the City to follow this procedure. If Pahl feels this is unconstitutional. he can appeal through the courts. Haugen said they could remove his bill from the list and look into the problem. His bill for the clean UP is $868.99. Stover asked when it happened. Rolek said the clean up was done on April 9. 1990. Nielsen read the list of materials to be cleaned up. On Feb. 26. 1990 Pahl was granted a 30 day extension. The inspector visited the site on April 2. 1990 and many of the same items were still there. The cars did have licenses and some of the brush was removed. Mr. Pahl reiterated his position that the City took materials off his property that were not on the list. Watten asked him if he had a list of these materials. Pahl said the list is at home. Councilmember Brancel felt they needed to back UP the City inspector. he was the one at the site. Gagne said if the mess wasn't there to begin with. there would not be a problem now. Haugen wanted to look at the Ordinance closer. but not at this meeting. Pahl said he does have witnesses. Stover said if the place had been cleaned up within 30 days there would be not problem or he could have applied for an extension of time. Pahls said there was no final walkthrough on the property with the inspector. Whittaker said that Joe Pazandak often stays late and comes in early to take calls from people regarding these cleanups. Haugen asked Pahl if he had any further comments. Pahl said he refuses to pay the $868.99 and he cannot afford to fight this in court. He feels the City is at fault. Haugen asked if there were any other people who wished to speak at this Public Hearing. She closed the Public Hearing at 8:30 P.M. RESOLUTION NO. 95-90 Stover moved. Gagne seconded. to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 95-90. "A Resolution Directing Delinquent Developer Fees be Placed on the 1991 Tax Rolls." (William B. Ecoff.

(Robert Berg, Owner) Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote. Haugen asked Rolek if any of the delinquent water bills were for commercial properties. Rolek said three were commercial. Gagne said if commercial users are not paying their water bills. the City should not subsidize them. Haugen felt there should be a grace period and then a shut-off. Stover asked if there was a code regarding this. Whittaker said the City had the authority to shut-off both residential and commercial. Haugen said the Council passed a motion last year regarding shut-off of commercial water. Watten asked if residents are given notification. Rolek said there was no special notification. Gagne asked for the total amount for certification for water. Rolek said it is about $10,000. Stover asked for the total certification. Rolek said there is another $45,000 for sewer plus $10,000 for clean up, developer fees and water hook-up. Gagne felt the Council would not be fiscally responsible if they let this go. Stover felt the City should notify the commercial properties and then follow policy. Watten said delinquency notices should be sent and the Ordinance enforced. Watten felt the Council should obtain all the information regarding Mr. Pahl's complaint. Stover felt that six months was sufficient time to object to the City's clean-up. Watten said the people in the building trade keep irregular hours. He asked the Attorney if the Council needed a full trial on this matter. Froberg said Pahl could file an appeal within 30 days of the date that the assessment role is adopted by filing notice with the district court. 6 CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, SEPT.l0, 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 7 . Haugen said Pahl was told it would cost $800 to file an appeal and it must be done with a lawYer. Froberg said it is not necessary to use a lawYer. Gagne moved, Stover seconded, to include all items on the certification list be approved for inclusion in the 1991 tax rolls. Motion carried - 3/2 Watten and Haugen nay. Froberg said Minnesota Statute No. 429.081 states that within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment any person who is aggrieved, and is not precluded, may appeal by serving a notice with the District Court on the Mayor or Clerk of the Municipality. The notice shall be filed with the Court Administrator of the District Court within 10 days after it's service on the municipality. Mr. Pahl said it would cost him $100 to file this appeal; he has to take off a day of work. He felt the City Attorney should help him file this or someone should be appointed to help him. Haugen said this would be a conflict of interest and Attorneys (Public Defenders) are appointed only in criminal trials. Pahl felt his rights were being violated. Haugen said the majority of the Council had spoken. RESOLUTION NO. 98-90 . Brancel moved, Gagne seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 98-90. "A Resolution Directing Delinquent Sewer and Water Utility Charges and Private Property Clean-Up Charges Be Placed on the 1991 Tax Rolls." Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote. Gagne moved, Brancel seconded, to establish a Water Shut-Off Policy. Motion carried - 3/2 Watten and Stover. Stover objected to a residential shut-off policy. She felt water was essential. Gagne asked her if she wanted to subsidize the people who won't pay. He totally disagreed. There are privileges and responsibilities that go along with City water. Haugen said many people don't pay their water bills. The water system must pay for itself and cannot if people don't pay their bills. Stover asked Rolek if the same people were delinquent on their bills. Rolek said yes. Watten felt people should be notified before they are put on the list. He thought they often were unaware the bills went on their property taxes. Whittaker said there is a penalty on the water and sewer bills and the penalty increases per quarter. Rolek said the fine is 10% per quarter on the unpaid bill. . Watten moved, Gagne seconded to notify all delinquent utility users that their unpaid bills will be certified to their property taxes. Motion carried - 5/0. "7 . . .

He said there are no easements on the property. Nielsen said this is true. The paragraph is a standard phrase. Johnston said the State now requires property irons to be placed before the final plat is filed. He said the developer would like to grade first and then put in the irons. City Engineer Norton said it did not matter as long as they are in. Nielsen said the Council should approve the agreement as is and then if there is a problem Merrill & Associates can ask for an extension. Gagne moved, Brancel seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 99-90. "A Resolution Approving the Final Plat of Shorewood Suburban Estates." Motion carried - 5/0 on a roll call vote. Haugen asked Norton if he was comfortable with the drainage in this area.

He wants the development to have a residential attitude and maintain this from the start. He was also inquired about other plantings aside from the canopy trees. Nielsen said there would be a detailed landscaping plan before any development started. Watten felt the developers should know before they draw up a plan what the City is requiring. Nielsen said the design framework manual discusses the landscaping and signage. Haugen asked Froberg if Watten's concerns should be added to the Resolution. Froberg said his concerns will be noted as part of the minutes. Watten was also concerned that the fuel tanks conform to PCA guidelines. ESCROW FOR PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Whittaker said the developer discussed an escrow account for plans and specifications.

MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR None STAFF REPORTS CITY PLANNER'S REPORT A. Traffic control on Radisson and Covington Roads Discussed previously. B. Review Park Dedication Fees. ORDINANCE NO. 231 Froberg explained this is amends Section 1207.07 of the City Code, changing the park dedication fees for new lots. Haugen explained the park dedication fee. Watten asked if this fee is for maintenance. If there is a referendum, should this fee remain at $750. He felt it is double funding. <"1 CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES, SEPT. 10, 1990 COUNCIL CHAMBERS 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PAGE 10 . Haugen said it is for capital improvements. Andrus said it would be for land purchases or capital improvement. Nielsen said it cannot be used for maintenance.

Item deleted. 4. Policy on Grant-Lorenz Drainage . Nielsen said the City has received a petition requesting that the drainageway between Smithtown Road and Grant Lorenz Rd. be cleaned out to restore and enhance drainage through the area. The staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Engineer to prepare a preliminary report addressing what needs to be done. Some of the staff's concerns include: a. When should the City get involved in the clean-up. b. Cost of legals, survey and easements and who pays for them. c. The City will need right-of-entry on the property. The administrative costs maybe higher than the actual cost of clean-up. Gagne felt the payment of costs should be the same as it is for everyone. BAYLOM J. LE I FERMAN , 5775 GRANT LORENZ ROAD. Mr. Leiferman said he was told by the City, 15 years ago that he could not clean out the ditch. It is 2 1/2 ft. deep in the creek. He has water in his basement and there is a strong runoff.

Motion carried - 5/0. ATTORNEY'S REPORT . 1. AMENDMENT TO DOG ORDINANCE ORDINANCE NO. 232 Shorewood's dog Ordinance contains a provision making it a nuisance for any dog to bark "excessively, continuously or untimely." Edina had a similar Ordinance, which the Court has declared unconstitutional. The language must be more definitive for the Ordinance to be upheld. The proposed Amendment defines the phrase "to bark excessively." Brancel felt nothing much was done with the barking dog problem. The owners just paid the fines, which did not solve the problem. The police are fed up with the calls. Froberg said the judge can set fines according to his own discretion but the prosecuting attorney can advise the judge that the citizen has had many offenses. Any person can testify for the filing of a complaint under the provisions of the amendment. Stover moved.

Naegele has refused to remove the sign and will contact the City, Froberg will contact Naegele this week and he suggested tabling the revocation of the C.U.P until he spoke with Naegele. Gagne said he did not want to get involved in another lawsuit with Naegele and wants the sign out. Stover said Rapid Oil should contact Naegele. They are the ones that have a contract with Naegele. No meaningful cooperation is possible with Naegele. Froberg said this is a valid position but he would still like to try and contact Naegele.
